Glass master a 10, total experience a 5 - The best part of this tour was watching and interacting with the master glass artist. The viewing of the individual works by family was also very interesting. There was a distinct pressure to buy these very expensive works of art and although the staff were friendly and willing to speak a it the families and their specific glasswork pieces, the undertone of sales was always there. What made this experience less than perfect is the required rushing out the door after only 40 minutes. We would have liked to spend a little more time exploring the gift shops where the prices weren’t so high. The experience wasn’t quite what was described as there was no Prosecco r toilet onboard. Again, it seemed very rushed.
